what dcarch said, after it's frozen (or even cold) the label will not stick. I use regular old masking tape, scotch brand I believe it is and I put the tape on before it goes into the freezer or even in the fridge. I do not buy any off brand though, you have to use a higher quality tape and not something for the Dollar Tree. But if you put something in a plastic container or baggy and that is already cold and you then try and stick the tape to the package, it will not stick because of the condensation that forms pretty much immediately. So I put the tape on it before I begin filling. OH and if using a ziploc baggy, I write on the baggy first or the pen(Sharpie) won't write on the cold wet baggy.

The best way to do it IMO is to paint the trim first, let the trim dry, tape off your trim and then paint your walls. You should never tape walls off. No, it is not normal for painters to use something that you didn't want them to use. If you wanted BM, they should use BM. If you chose a BM color and they want to use Devoe, they should ask you. However it went down, this all should be decided before beginning the project.

Thanks everyone for all your responses!! Lukkiirish- I actually bought some "Goo Gone" at BB&B but wanted to make sure it wouldn't affect the finish on my cabs. . Thanks for confirming that it is in fact safe. Alex and bbstx- I will also try using the hair dryer trick. I hadn't even thought of that. Edlakin- whichever method I resort to using I will definitely make sure I heed your advise about pulling the tape straight out as I work at removing it. Raehelen- Thanks for not making me feel so bad. Hopefully I can get this off in time without it petrifying.

Applying a gold pinstriping might take longer than just repainting the whole ceiling. People tend to avoid painting their ceilings, and often a fresh coat of paint up there makes a visible difference. If your ceiling is white, most likely it was painted with a color called "ceiling white" that the painter bought at the closest paint store to the house.
